CHICAGO—Phil Taillon and his wife, Kellie, both company CEOs, thoroughly enjoyed Shen Yun Performing Arts when they attended its evening show at the Civic Opera House on May 2.
Not quite knowing what to expect, they were pleasantly surprised by the performance’s beauty.
“Excellent. It’s just very uplifting,” Mr. Taillon said. “The dancing isn’t something we normally see. So, it’s just a lot of fun. We’re loving the show.”
The spread of atheism rapidly undermined belief in the divine, and the cherished virtues drawn from Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism were swept away.
Mrs. Taillon, too, said that “it’s a sad thing to hear.”
Shen Yun “is amazing,” she added. “It’s different to hear how things like this are still happening in China, and we’re not aware of it. It’s a great show.”
According to the company’s website, the name ‘Shen Yun” translates directly into “the beauty of divine beings dancing.”
“Happy anniversary, great job,” Mr. Taillon exclaimed. “We’re amazed by how talented they are.”
“It’s amazing, and they’re doing a fabulous job,” she said. “We can’t wait to let other individuals know to come to the show.”
